Was not going to post this but it's been bugging me all day....Sorry if any of you are Vets out there.
So today I accompanied a friend of mine to a Vets office. He recently purchased a very expensive and "High End " Pitbull ( Long Story)
Anyway, my buddy was asking the vet a bunch of questions about the shots the dog was about to receive, how often he needed to be back and yada yada.
As the vet is explaining shots and really pushing the issue of having him fixed right away ( don't agree with that either ) he asked "What are you feeding him?" His reply was kibble for now TOTW, but will switch him over to RAW once his permanent teeth come in. The Vet first of all said that TOTW was not good for the puppy now, and that he should be feeding him a puppy specific formula like Hills Science diet! and that Raw feeding down the line would only bring on tons of Gastrointestinal problems.
I never said a peep
. I just listened and my buddy tried to keep a straight face as we listened to him sell and try to convince him on the Science diet, and that buying it from him would save him a few bucks because its sooooo popular, and they sell sooooo much of it that they can price it cheaper than most stores.
I couldn't believe this guy. After his mumbo jumbo I finally opened my mouth and said.."yknow I feed my EB a RAW diet" and it has been the BEST thing I have done for him. It has gotten rid of a slew of problems and not once has he had any gastro problems...at all! His reply was , you are one of the lucky ones.
F*This! I rolled my eyes and got outta there.
I know there are TONS of great vets out there but it seems that more and more of them are in it solely for the money.
DVM might as well stand for Doctor of Veterinary Marketing.
Ok Rant over.

in a bag, I'd switch vets immediately because my trust is gone. So they lose more money in the end.
